Reb Aryeh Levin's involvement.

It is also of great importance to recall the great chesed that Reb Aryeh Levine - The Tzaddik of Yerushalayim - did for all the families by identifying each fallen soldier by name through the use of the "Goral HaGra" thereby enabling each soldier to be buried by name.

Brings memories of my palmach unit in the Gush

Very well done video of our brave and devoted men. As surviver of the battle in the Gush, May '48 recognize the
pictures of the men with the brengun and Eldad Pen of my unit, all in my memory. Thanks for the production.

The brave fighters of Gush Etsion

God lend me the courage to stand beside my Jewish brothers and sisters so that I am not intimidated by any kind of adversity whatsoever like the 35 braves of Gush Etsion.

Interesting some of the names of the Palmach defenders. Former Mossad head and General 'Yatza'. Very interesting indeed

Such courage. Such a terrible loss. We must never forget that even in the darkest of times each person can do what is required to achieve their dream.

I saw the group leave for Gush Etzion from Talpiyot

One of the 38 was Hagganaha leader. At the time I envied him for going to Gush Etzion.
